Challenge for May

by Lester Dickey

For a chance at the pizza: If MEN = 13514 and CHILD = 389124, what does WOMEN =?

For something extra to think about (but no pizza to contemplate): An experimental Navy jet from BNAS flies from Brunswick to Chicago at 1000 miles per hour. After picking up a load and flying into a headwind, he makes the return trip at 500 miles per hour. What is his average speed for the entire trip?

Please e-mail Lester Dickey with your answer and your name, phone number, and the organization for which you work. Or call Barbara Buck at 624-9501. The winner will be drawn from all the correct entries and will receive a FREE donated pizza, either from CJ’s Pizza or from the EDOC Cafeteria. All answers must be in no later than the 14th of the month.

Last month's challenge brought 70 submissions, with 54 having correct answers. The winner, chosen by random drawing, is Linda Roy of Department of Labor.

The answers to last month’s Challenge: a) It is Tuesday, April 10. b) You call her “Sally” because that is her name.
